I love it....delving into the numbers to get the facts as opposed to just going on what is posted without merit on here.
It is better the rate is slower....more investment into the platform that way.
I wonder how the printing of SBD changes the equation, if at all.
I believe SBD changes it as it creates the potential for more Steem to be issued in lieu of SBD being burned. However, it is difficult to calculated as the conversion only makes sense if SBD remains pegged to the $1 valuation. However, there are some that assume that all the SBD is converted at the moment and that just adds to current supply and not future potential supply. The exercise will need to adjust the percentage of the rewards pool issued in SBD (which can also differ given payout options) and assume a ratio per SBD. At current rates, it may increase Steem inflation quite substantially.
